As oft, in vain, as he essay'd to tellIn Foreign Tongues how Troy and Priam fell,Old Homer has at last attain'd to speakIn smoother Accents than his Native Greek;Blind heretofore the Bard receives new Sight,And ev'n in Age becomes the Fair's Delight;How much to POPE is due from US, and HIM?Since HOMER Nods no more, nor do his Readers Dream.
